This calculator uses the CKD-EPI formula. Some pathology results may use an alternate formula, which will result in a slightly different result. Please note the calculator is not valid for people under the age of 18.

Many health professionals conduct assessments with the public to help assess their risk of developing kidney disease. The QKidney® risk calculator can be a helpful tool to assist with these assessments.

You can use this calculator to assess the risk of developing moderate-severe kidney disease over the next five years by answering some simple questions.

The QKidney® algorithms are based on routinely collected data from many thousands of general practices across the United Kingdom who have contributed data to the QResearch database for medical research.

The calculator requires height, weight and systolic blood pressure measures as well as responses to a few questions that relate to risk factors for chronic kidney disease. It is a great educational tool as people will learn what factors increase their risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
